Fig Jam with Gin

It is fig harvest time. My tree gets bigger and the amount of figs increased since the last time I made jam. Last time I had to add store bought figs to have enough for 4 jars. This time I have figs left to eat the next days and there are some more on the tree. 

You will need some liquid to loosen the blended figs. I used orange juice and the juice of one lime.

Recipe 4 jars:

775 g figs, 1 lime, 75 ml orange juice

1 tsp vanilla paste, 4 tbsp Gin, 

300 g 3:1 sugar with pectin

Top an tail the figs and quarter them, in a food processor blend them in a fine mash. Add juices, vanilla and sugar and blend again.

In a pot bring to a boil, stir constantly, let it boil for 4 min, add the Gin and fill into clean jars.
